MOLDOVA'S MULTIDISCIPLINARY STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY

Where Moldova decides how to grow, we are in the room.

Europolis advises ministries and agencies, municipalities, development partners and investors on growth, investment, territory and infrastructure. Since 2008.

MOLDOVA IN MAPS

We map the economy before we advise on it.

Sector by sector and town by town, built by our team from company-level and territorial data.

Briceni - over 40% of national apple exports

WHY CLIENTS COME TO US

Documents that get adopted.

We write for approval and implementation. A programme a government can vote, a plan a council can enforce, a project a donor can fund.

Evidence, town by town.

Local budgets, enterprise statistics, population records and digital maps for each municipality. Our recommendations start from data, not from templates.

From diagnosis to investment.

Economists, urban planners, engineers and GIS specialists on the same assignment. And, where it makes sense, our own capital in the project.
